Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Trim the butternut squash, peel, halve lengthways, then scoop out the seeds. Cut into 2cm chunks.
Drain the halloumi, then cut it into 2cm chunks. Place them into a small bowl of cold water and leave to soak.

Pop the diced butternut onto a large baking tray.
Drizzle with oil, sprinkle over the chermoula spice mix, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and cooked through, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, drain and rinse the borlotti beans. Remove the halloumi cubes from the cold water, pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry.
When the squash has 15 mins remaining, pop a large saucepan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the halloumi and fry, turning frequently, until golden, 4-5 mins.
Add the beans, passata, vegetable stock paste, Mediterranean style seasoning, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts), then bring to a simmer.
Simmer until slightly thickened, 4-5 mins.

Just before everything's ready, pop the pitta breads into the oven until warm and starting to turn golden, 3-4 mins.
Halve the pittas to turn them into dippers for your stew.

When the stew has simmered, add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
When the butternut has roasted, stir the roasted butternut and caramelised onion paste into the bean stew.
Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it needs it.

Share the halloumi, butternut and borlotti bean stew between your serving bowls.
Crumble over the Greek style salad cheese and serve the pitta dippers alongside.
